Louder Than Words Omnibus

Louder Than Words: 5 filmmakers take a stand against hate speech, in 5 short films shot without words.

Louder Than Words is our video omnibus dedicated to overcoming stereotypes towards different vulnerable groups in Bulgaria. For it, Fine Acts worked with five Bulgarian directors on five short films on hate speech, bound by a common creative constraint – they are all shot without words.

The short films in the omnibus include Home (by Kevork Aslanyan), Heritage (by Rozaliya Dimitrova), Tasty (by Joro Peev-Jawpains), Journey (by Tsvetoslav Tsonev), and Love (by Slava Doytcheva). Each film focuses on one of the three groups in Bulgaria that are most often the target of hate speech – Roma, LGBTI people, and asylum seekers/refugees.
